This was a corporate retreat. Our tour turned out to be one where we both got our workouts in and discovered the culinary delights of Turkey. I was among those who opted for the villa. Sometimes, I didn’t even want to leave my cozy space—there were times when we prepared breakfast ourselves after stocking up on fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs at the local village market. Next time, we should all organize a barbecue at the villa; after all, Turkey is known for its excellent meat. In the evenings, after an intensive schedule, there was still time to take a swim in the villa’s private pool under the starry sky!
The vacation was a success and passed by in the blink of an eye. The most memorable moments were the beach with its impeccably clear water, the scent of blooming jasmine, and of course, the trip to an authentic restaurant in a cozy cove by the sea, where a surprise awaited us.
